In a surprise nice weather weak (read: it was under 100 degrees for one day), the boys meet to discuss: the retirement of Mario-voice Charles Martinet, a new special drink that John is All About(TM), and the legal ramifications of non-human authors. We’ve got all that and more right here on Zero Credit(s).

It’s another hot one, but this time it’s cause we have so much hot, hot content to cover. The Blind Side, Michael Burry, a weird drink that John goes in depth about for some reason – we’ve got it all PLUS a 2023 bingo card update, right here on Zero Credit(s).

The heat rises this week and the ZC boys’ brains are a’cookin’. The title makes this episode sound way more elegant and sophisticated than it really is.

The heat is on, but not much else is – so what are the Zero Credit(s) boys to do? Hmm. This is a tough one. It’s 105 degrees. John has AI woes. It’s 105 degrees. Light bulbs have been banned. It’s 105 degrees and it’s August 1st. That and more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Finally, two white guys in their 30s weigh in on Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023). We know you’ve been clamoring for our thoughts and here they are. We tried to not talk about Ken too much (and failed) while also tackling the larger themes the film explores. Also we only saw the movie once before recording … Continue reading Supplemental Reading: Barbie (2023) →

Writing show notes unfortunately would break the picket rules. So would doing episode art. So instead, enjoy these random words: SAG-AFTRA, WGA, STRIKE, PICKET, MOVIES, TELEVISION, TIKTOK, NPC MOMENT, ETC.

The Internet as it was, is no more. Barbenheimer completed their research, resulting in a new social media bomb, one capable of destroying 1000s of Twitters. Or something like that. Barbie and Oppenheimer are just around the corner, but until then it’s Twitter vs Meta, Elon vs the Zuck. All that and more, right here … Continue reading Episode 305: The Death of the Internet →

This episode has aged poorly, but it happened so it’s still going up. Orcas attacking yachts. CEOs cutting corners. More things I can’t remember, all right here on Zero Credit(s).

It’s the heat of the summer, and instead of laying low in the shade, Reddit’s setting everything on fire to make some more money. Henry and John explore what’s happening with Reddit and an exciting new independent media venture, all right here on Zero Credit(s).

Here we stand on the precipice of the end. Fast X. The second (or third) to last movie. How does the Louis Leterrier directed, Justin Lin written movie fair? How does Jason Momoa stack up to the all time great villains of the Fast Saga? And most importantly, where does Fast X come in for … Continue reading Supplemental Reading: Fast X (2023) →

It’s a crazy week and we’ve got a lot to talk about. Fake AI generated images generating too much buzz on the internet. Fake verified profiles propagating even faker news to be picked up by actual news sources. Two powerhouses of Florida taking each other on in a knock-down, drag-out fight to the death. We’ve … Continue reading Episode 302: Disney vs DeSantis →

As we kick off a new season of Zero Credit(s), we fall on old habits. Fast and Furious is about to premiere, but not without a little tease by one Vincent Diesel.

Well it’s finally here – episode 300 of Zero Credit(s). And we’ll cut it straight with you. No time traveling plots, no robot uprising. No gimmicks. Just pure, unadulterated Zero Credit(s). We’ve got it all this week from something Henry’s cooked up to a detailing of John’s new house. Also: how to be a sigma … Continue reading Episode 300: Zero Credit(s) Cribz →

Contrary to what John might say, we are not the Rainey Street Drowner, largely because that just doesn’t exist. We discuss the current rumors of an Austin based serial killer, dive into some more of that sweet, sweet AI buzz with a Grimes related incident, and round things off with a stop at the modern … Continue reading Episode 299: We Are (NOT) the Rainey Street Drowner →

We’re all over the place this week, starting off with two almost Zeitbingo cross-offs. However, we have more important stuff to talk about like all the old properties getting new things. New Star War movies. New Harry Potter television show. New ways for old companies to make money without coming up with new ideas. It’s … Continue reading Episode 298: King December December December Williams →

We’re lost in the haze of bad days, tired and beaten up by the going on’s of life. If only there were some type of…good guy…out there, with like…mythical and/or biblical strength…who knows street smart stuff and is like newly battled. Someone should really write a song about that and use it in a bunch … Continue reading Episode 297: dorp →

This week, we celebrate Finland as it becomes the 31st country to join NATO. Learn all about Finland, their culture, their customs, and more for hours on en–what’s that? A former president was arrested and arraigned? Well I guess we need to cover that then. All that and more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

We’re shining a light through the darkness to some kickass state senators who are getting things done by not allowing anything to be done on this week’s episode. Weaponizing the filibuster? How about busting down on some…fili–this is going nowhere, but yes, we are shouting out Nebraska State Senators Michaela Cavanaugh, Megan Hunt, and their … Continue reading Episode 295: “Please Let Me Live” →

While financial institutions continue to crumble and burn around us, let’s take a distracting walk down a heavily commercialized memory lane. Remember Gak? Flubber? Sock ’em Boppers?
